Hello,

I've long had an interest in metal shaping and now have a chance to transform that interest into action as I'm building a custom, tube-framed sports car which will require many simple, but some complex, metal panels.

I'm taking my first baby steps into metal shaping now, but hope to do more complex things in the future. That would include a second car where the emphasis will be on the coachbuilding aspects of the vehicle rather than the structure and performance elements, which are the major considerations of my current project.

Cheers,

Lonnie

Hi Lonnie. Post up some pictures of your project. I live in San Diego, maybe we could get together one of these days. I'm working on a widened MGB.
